2017年5月24日上午，美国Rice大学生物工程系Foyt Family讲席教授，CPRIT资深学者，核蛋白及其纳米医学中心主任包刚来我校作了题为“Engineering Magnetic Naoparticles for Molecular Imaging and Therapy”的学术报告。报告会在生命科学研究中心101报告厅举行，由生科院周军教授主持，相关专业的老师和学生积极参加了此次报告。

报告伊始，周军教授首先对包刚教授的到来表示欢迎，并对其研究领域和研究成果作了简单介绍。报告会中，包刚教授首先介绍了实验室的主要研究领域，包括纳米磁性加热，使用多功能纳米粒子进行体内成像,细胞磁性靶向和磁力增强体内药物/基因递送。随后他又介绍了氧化铁磁性纳米粒子的潜在应用和多功能磁性氧化铁纳米粒子成像探针的结构。接着他又向我们介绍了在人体内间充质干细胞的磁靶向，实验证明内在的磁性纳米小球不会影响人间充质干细胞的分化。报告会最后包刚教授与老师和同学们进行了深入的探讨交流，现场气氛活跃，大家都积极踊跃的发表自己的看法，提出自己的问题，包刚教授为大家一一解惑。

此次精彩的学术报告让在场的师生感受到了国际前沿科学的发展脉搏，为研究纳米材料方向的老师及同学们提供了诸多借鉴之处，同时也开阔了同学们的科研视野，更激发了同学们的科研热情。

Dr. Gang Bao is the Foyt Family Chair Professor in the Department ofBioengineering, Rice University. He is a CPRIT Senior Scholar and the Directorof Nanomedicine Center for Nucleoprotein Machines at Rice. Dr. Bao receivedhis undergraduate and Master’s degrees from Shandong University in China, andhis PhD from Lehigh University in the US. Dr. Bao is a Fellow of the AmericanAssociation of Advancement in Science (AAAS), a Fellow of the AmericanSociety of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), a Fellow of the American PhysicalSociety (APS), and a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and BiologicalEngineering (AIMBE).

Dr. Bao’s current research is focused on the development of nanotechnology andbiomolecular engineering tools for biological and disease studies, includingmolecular beacons, magnetic nanoparticle probes, quantum dot bioconjugates,protein tagging/targeting methods, and engineered nucleases such asCRISPR/Cas9. These approaches have been applied to the diagnosis andtreatment of cancer and cardiovascular disease, and the development of genomeediting approaches for treating single-gene disorders.
